Thanks David for the help.
The getfacl/setfacl command works fine. And the setting change in xmeacs also works.
I'm using WindowsXP @Home, it does not seem to have anything available for changing file permissions from Windows itself, does anybody know how to do it ?
Thanks.

1. What is the '+' in the file mode? I know it has something to do with

I believe the "+" indicates that there are some Windows permissions that do not map to the Unix-style user/group/other. For example, if I create a new file using cygwin (say, with touch), and then open the file's properties with Windows and explicitly add permission for another user to modify the file, I see the "+".
2. How do I set the '+' in mode manually? I used 'fstat' on the two files and it shows the exact same mode (o100700).
Well, you can copy all the file attributes from one file (sourceFile) to another (destFile) with a command like this:
% getfacl - sourceFile | setfacl -f- destFile
3. Why xemacs changed the file mode? Could it be because of different
file
system?
Do "M-x customize-apropros" on "backup-by-copying". The default behavior is to move the old file to the backup file and then create a new file. If you set this option on (non-nil), the backup copy will be made as a copy and the original file will be modified. This will preserve the extra file permissions on the original file (although the backup copy won't have them).
HTH, Dave
